Re: Appraisal of 1000 Herbert Street
Charleston, SC 29405
Dear Sir:
Pursuant to your request, we have prepared an appraisal on the above referenced property. This
appraisal has been prepared in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice (2018-2019 Edition) as amended by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal
Foundation.
James H. Martin, MAI and Paul K. Moore, MAI inspected the subject property on December 11,
2018, which is the effective date of this appraisal. The appraiser has significant experience in
appraising similar properties within the subject market. Our experience and knowledge of current
market trends and lease rates supports our competence to appraise the subject. The subject
property is a 4.22-acre site which is improved with a 32,368 SF building at the physical address
of 1000 Herbert Street in Charleston, South Carolina 29405.
I believe that a marketing period of one year or less would be reasonable in order to sell the
property, and that an exposure period of one year would also be appropriate as of the effective
date of this appraisal.
Based on my investigation, analysis, and conclusions, an opinion has been formed that the Market
Value of the Fee Simple Estate of the subject property, as of the effective date of December 11,
2018, subject to the Certification, General Assumptions, and General Limiting Conditions, is:
TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$2,750,000

We have also been asked to provide a value of the underlying land. Based on our analysis, it is our
opinion that the value of the underlying land, consisting of a 4.22 acre commercial site, as of the
effective date of July 20, 2016, was:
NINE HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$930,000
Finally, by subtracting the value of the land from the value of the entire property, this results in the
contributory value of the improvements. Therefore, based on our analysis, the contributing value of
the improvements, as of the effective date of December 11, 2018, was:
ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$1,820,000
Your attention is invited to the following report, which states the appraiser's conclusions. We
hereby certify that to the best of our knowledge and belief the statements and opinions contained in
this report are full, true, and correct and that no attempt has been made to overlook any pertinent or
important information.
We further certify that we have no interest in the subject property and that neither the employment
to make this appraisal, nor the compensation therefore, is contingent on the value of the property.
We certify that this appraisal was made in conformity with the Rules of Professional Ethics of the
Appraisal Institute.
Our analyses, opinions and conclusions were developed, and this report has been prepared, in
accordance with the final rule by Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 CFR Part 34) dated
June 7, 1994, as amended, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and in
conformity with the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics and the Standards of
Professional Practice of the Appraisal Institute.
The compensation for this appraisal is not contingent upon the reporting of a predetermined value
or direction in value that favors the cause of the client, the amount of the value estimate, the
attainment of a stipulated result or the occurrence of a subsequent event. The appraisal assignment
is not based on a requested minimum valuation, a specific valuation, or the approval of a loan.

PROPERTY SPECIFIC ASSUMPTIONS / LIMITING CONDITIONS
There are no specific assumptions and/or limiting conditions which are unique to the subject
property which are not covered in the General Limiting Conditions and Underlying Assumptions
section of this report.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS
Extraordinary assumptions presume uncertain information to be factual. If found to be false
these assumptions could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions. (The Appraisal of Real
Estate, Appraisal Institute) There are no Extraordinary Assumptions for this appraisal.
Page 28

HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
That which is contrary to what exists but is supposed for the purpose of analysis. Hypothetical
conditions assume conditions contrary to known facts about physical, legal, or economic
characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as
market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis. (The Dictionary of
Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute)
The subject property is a portion of a larger tract of land which contains a total of 19.35 acres of
land. The specific subject property is a part of a larger tract of land which is utilized by the North
Charleston Sewer District for their operations center. There are many additional buildings, large
tanks and ancillary improvements on the subject site.
The subject property has been appraised as if a typical industrial building in the subject market.
We have utilized a reasonable Land to Building ratio, as well as GIS technology to provide a
reasonable estimate of the appropriate site for the subject building.
Based on a typical Land to Building Ratio, Parking Areas and typical access, we have estimated
the appropriate site for the subject property to have a total of 4.22 acres of land. Therefore, this
appraisal is based on the Hypothetical Condition that the appropriate site for the subject building
would be 4.22 acres of land. This site would include appropriate driveways, access and turn
around areas for large trucks, and would provide excellent utility for the current use.
Please review the Site Analysis section of this report for an aerial view of the appropriate site and
improvements.

TAX AND ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS
The subject property is identified by the Charleston County Assessor’s Office as a portion of 466-
00-00-007. The subject property is owned by a government entity and is not subject to property
taxes.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
In this appraisal assignment, the existence of potentially hazardous material present at the site or
at adjoining or immediate properties, which may or may not have been present, was not observed
by us, nor do we have knowledge of the existence of such materials on or near the property being
appraised. The appraisers are not professionally qualified to detect such substances. We suggest
that, as determined by the client's environmental policy, an expert in this field be retained.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") became effective January 26, 1992. We have not
made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether or not it will
be in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a
compliance survey of the property, together with a detailed analysis of the ADA, could reveal that
the property will not be in compliance with one or more of the requirements of the act. If so, this
fact could have a negative effect on the value of the property. Since we have no direct evidence
relating to this issue, we did not consider possible non-compliance with the requirements of the
ADA in estimating the value of the property. The extent of investigation and methodology
conforms to our interpretation of USPAP requirements.
Page 30

PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL / DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the market value of the subject property.
Market value is defined as:
The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and
knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus.
Implicit in its definition is the consummation of a sale as a specified date and the passing of
title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and Seller are typically motivated.
2. Both parties are well informed or sell advised, and acting in what they consider their
own best interests.
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial
arrangements comparable thereto.
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by
special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with

CHARLESTON MSA REGIONAL ANALYSIS
The Charleston Metropolitan Statistical Area (Charleston MSA) is a three-county entity consisting
of Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston County. Berkeley County is bordered on the south by
Charleston County and to the West by Dorchester County. These three counties make up what is
known as the Trident Area or Tri-County Area. The Charleston Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA) includes these three counties due to their close physical and economic relationships.
The Cities of Charleston, North Charleston and Goose Creek and the Towns of Summerville and
Mount Pleasant are the five major urban areas in this region. These five areas comprise the
majority of the residential base, economic growth and major centers of employment for the
Charleston MSA. These areas have all experienced explosive growth in residential and commercial
development over the past several years.
It is important to note that the combination of a broad economic base, an able workforce and the
many recent positive occurrences has continued to strengthen the Charleston MSA’s position as
an established leader in many sectors on a state, regional and national level.
To follow is a brief summary of these five areas which together make up the Charleston MSA.
Page 32
12
The City of Charleston
The City of Charleston is the county seat for Charleston County. Charleston was founded in 1663
under a land grant from Charles II and named "Albemarle". The name was changed to "Charles
Town" within a few years and the city was incorporated in 1783. The city of Charleston is located
around Charleston Harbor, which is formed by the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando Rivers.
The historic City of Charleston is located on the peninsula of land between the Ashley and Cooper
Rivers and is a relatively small geographic area. Charleston has traditionally been known as a
seaport and agricultural center and has more recently become an internationally known resort and
convention destination.
Charleston has a diverse economy incorporating the port-related industries, travel and
leisure/hospitality, industrial development and a significant amount of retail, office and residential
development. The City of Charleston has two cruise lines that call on the city including Carnival
Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Lines. The City of Charleston is consistently ranked highly in
annual surveys of best places to live and visit by countless travel and leisure publications.
The City of Charleston encompasses many diverse districts including the West Ashley area, Johns
Island, James Island, the Downtown Historic District, the Downtown Business District, the
“Charleston Neck” industrial area and through annexation has recently grown to include the areas
of Daniel Island and several residential areas across the waterways of both the Ashley and Wando
River in both Charleston and Berkeley County.
The Downtown Business District enjoys the stability of a relatively low amount of developable land
with very little new product and a tenant mix that is stable and consists of many major, long-term
tenants that have been occupying the same areas for several decades.
Page 33
13
Tourism/Hospitality is also a significant contributor to the overall economy of the City of
Charleston and this has also fared very well over the past several years. The City of Charleston is
regularly recognized as a Top 10 Travel Destination Worldwide. Hotel occupancies have been
reported to be extremely strong in the Downtown Areas. The demand to visit the Charleston Area
is considered to a major driving force in the local economy. There are several new hotels,
restaurants, offices and mixed use developments either under construction or in the planning stages
throughout the City of Charleston areas.
New developments in the Downtown Charleston area are closely regulated by several
historic/preservation societies as well as strict zoning regulations. There are several proposed
mixed-use developments in the Downtown Charleston area which are located just north of Calhoun
Street, which is the historical dividing line between downtown and midtown Charleston.
These developments include “Midtown”, which is an major mixed-use retail and residential
development located along King Street just north of Calhoun Street. The potential economic
impact of this development has been compared to the Charleston Place Hotel which was developed
adjacent to Market Street in the 1990’s. After several years of dormancy, this project has been
reinvigorated with Class “A” apartments which were developed by Greystar, as well as
complementary retail developments. There are several new and proposed hotels in the immediate
area of Midtown, including a new Holiday Inn, Hyatt and Hyatt Place.
Other developments include the proposed Concord Street waterfront park as well as the Marriott-
anchored mixed-use development located on Calhoun Square at Calhoun Street and King Street.
The opposite corner of Calhoun and King Street is the location of the former Millennium Music
retail facility which is being redeveloped as a Walgreen’s anchored mixed use property. The
former library has been demolished and construction of the new hotel facility is occurring at this
property.
Finally, there has been some new office development in the Downtown area. Holder Properties has
developed a 60,000 SF office building known as 25 Calhoun near waterfront park, and leased that
property up to stabilization in less than an 18-month period.
Page 34
14
Other major developments in the Downtown Charleston area include the renovation of the Kress
Building to accommodate a large attorney’s office, the development of Elan Midtown, which is a
luxury apartment development on Upper King Street by Greystar Developments, and a new Holiday
Inn Hotel Facility along Upper Meeting Street at the intersection with Reid Street. There are
several new sales and lease transactions which have occurred along Upper King Street in the past
one-year period. There are several major multifamily and lodging developments located throughout
the Peninsular Charleston area.
This area, which is located in close proximity to both the Upper King Street area and the College of
Charleston, has experienced a great deal of revitalization over the past three-year period. Many
locally and nationally renowned restaurants, such as Hall’s Chophouse, The Ordinary, Oku, Closed
for Business, Indaco Charleston, Stars Bar and Grill, La Fourchette and The Macintosh have
located within this general area over the past several years. New and expanding businesses in the
area include PeopleMatter, which is a technology company which has its offices along King Street.
These new developments have reinvigorated the Upper King Street area.
Other new developments include the beginning of the redevelopment of the former Charleston Post
and Courier site, which is located in close proximity to the intersection of Spring Street and King
Street. This is an approximately 10 acre site which is planned for multifamily, office, retail and
mixed uses.
The overall appeal of the City of Charleston has provided the area for a positive economic outlook
for both the short and long term. This is due to the relatively low supply of developable land, the
stability of the current economic base and the historically high demand to work and live in the City
of Charleston, South Carolina.
Page 35
15
City of North Charleston
The City of North Charleston was incorporated in 1972. North Charleston has become one of the
largest cities in the State of South Carolina and has become a major player in both retail and
industrial development in the area. The City of North Charleston is known as being one of the
major employment centers for the Charleston MSA and is conveniently accessed via several major
roadways including Interstates 26 and 526.
North Charleston was negatively affected by the closing of the Navy base in the early 1990’s. For
the past several decades, there has been relatively higher unemployment and slower economic
growth in the North Charleston area when compared to the rest of the Charleston MSA. However,
the past decade has brought significant change in the outlook for this area.
Major recent developments in the North Charleston area include Centre Pointe, which is a master
planned, 300+ acre commercial development located along International Boulevard, just across
from the North Charleston Coliseum. This is a regional shopping destination consisting of a Tanger
Outlet Center, a Super Wal-Mart, a Sam’s Club Discount store, several new hotel facilities and
restaurants, approximately 250,000 SF of new office space and over 1,000,000 SF of retail space.
Other major developments in North Charleston had included the Noisette Project, which is a
master-planned redevelopment of the former Navy Base. This is a massive, mixed-use
development which had been projected to revitalize the entire Park Circle/Old North Charleston
area. However, this development failed and the balance of the land has been sold. There have
been several new developments at that property, including a distribution center for Continental
Tire, the Clemson Wind Turbine facility and several multifamily developments are planned
within the immediate area. There is a new port terminal which will be located in this area as well
as many new rail related developments such as a proposed interchange at Cosgrove Avenue and
related improvements.

Another major occurrence in the North Charleston Market has been the emergence of the
Palmetto Commerce Park, a Class “A” 1,000 acre, industrial development located along Palmetto
Parkway, between Ashley Phosphate Road and Ladson Road. Over the past five years, there
have been several major transactions within this development, as tenants include Daimler
Chrysler, Shimano, TagHitco, the Charleston County 911 Service and several municipal and
healthcare providers have opened data centers in this area. Land values have risen dramatically
within this development, with relatively large industrial tracts being priced at upwards of
$175,000 per acre.
Finally, the City of North Charleston and the Charleston Development Alliance previously
announced the decision of Boeing to place their 787 Dreamliner Assembly Line within the
Charleston International Airport Industrial Park located in the City of North Charleston. This has
been described as an “economic coup” for the region, as the economic impact include an
investment in excess of $750 million dollars in the area over the next five-year period. This has
provided a major economic impact to the entire Charleston MSA.
Statehouse speaker Bobby Harrell called the announcement a declaration "to the global business
community that SC is back in the game and open for business." He called the decision the biggest
economic development in the state in over a decade. Former Governor Mark Sanford said he
thought the decision by Boeing would spur on the aerospace industry much in the same way BMW
did with an upstate factory 15 years ago, calling the deal the "largest announcement in South
Carolina history."
This development, coupled with the large amounts of developable land within the North Charleston
area, provides the potential for significant growth in all sectors. The City of North Charleston has
made significant progress over the past decade to provide both commercial and residential growth.

Town of Summerville
The Town of Summerville has long been known as a “Bedroom Community” for the Charleston
Area, as many downtown residents historically moved inland during the summertime to the
Summerville area, retreating from the relatively hot weather and high humidity which were
characteristic of the City of Charleston. In the past, Summerville was a small, relatively rural area
which was characterized as being the location for 2nd
homes of many residents.
Today, Summerville enjoys a well-balanced economy and is characterized as having exceptional
schools, affordable cost of living, a small-town atmosphere and an overall high quality of life.
The majority of the new development in the Summerville area has consisted of relatively
affordable single-family residences ranging in price from the low to mid $100,000 range to
upwards of $450,000. As displayed above, the Summerville area has experienced explosive
levels of population growth over the past decade. This can be mainly attributable to the
availability of the combination of relatively affordable housing and the high quality of life which
has traditionally been associated with living within the Town of Summerville.
The growth of the subject area is also a result of the decreasing supply of developable land
proximate to the suburban areas of the City of Charleston as well as the relatively high prices of
developable land in close proximity to the more affluent areas of the Town of Mount Pleasant,
the City of Charleston, Daniel Island and the beach/island areas of Kiawah Island, the Isle of
Palms, Folly Beach and Sullivan’s Island.
As the population of Summerville increased over the past decade, demand for housing increased
as well. Many new residential developments were met with incredible success and the Raw
acreage had risen in price dramatically in the Summerville area over the past decade as well, with
developable land being priced in the $10,000 per acre range at the beginning of the decade to
upwards of $70,000 per acre during the height of the real estate market in 2006 and 2007.
Commercial development following these trends over the past decade as well. The major
commercial development in the Summerville area over the past ten years was the Azalea Square
Page 38
18
Mall, a regional retail development located along Highway 17-A in close proximity to Interstate
26 within the Town of Summerville. This is a major retail destination which is anchored by
Kohl’s, Ross Dress for Less, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Target. There are several local and
national tenants located within this development and vacancies are low.
Other major retail and commercial developments have included several Publix-anchored retail
centers which serve the new population centers in the Summerville area. The downtown
Summerville area has been revitalized as an active area for local retailers, businesses and
restaurants. Many banks have purchased sites and developed branches over the past several years
in the Summerville area which resulted in a boom for commercial sites within the Downtown
area.
The demand for large, industrial sites in this area is due to the scarcity of comparable, large size
tracts in the subject market area. This, coupled with the relative convenience of the Summerville
area to both Interstate 26, Interstate 95 and the Port of Charleston has provided ample
opportunities for industrial development in this area. There are few opportunities in the
Charleston MSA for large-scale industrial development in such a convenient location proximate
to these major linkages.
There are several large-scale industrial and distribution projects planned for this area. These
include the joint development of the Rockefeller Group/Foreign Trade Zone Charleston. This is
a massive distribution and industrial development which is planned for 2.7 million square feet of
industrial space on approximately 400 acres of land.
In summary, the Town of Summerville has experience unprecedented growth over the past ten-
year period. All sectors of the economy, including office, retail, industrial and residential
developments are at or near historically high levels.

Town of Mount Pleasant
The Town of Mount Pleasant is located just across the new Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge from the
Downtown area of the City of Charleston, South Carolina. The Town of Mount Pleasant is
considered to be a bedroom community of the Charleston MSA and is considered to be an excellent
location to live and work. The Town of Mount Pleasant has been consistently ranked in the Top
100 Cities to Live by Money Magazine over the past decade.
Mt. Pleasant has traditionally been known for its historical architecture, recreational amenities,
residential communities and temperate climate. The traditional water-oriented focus of the town
is evidenced by the location of the Old Village district along the Harbor and the long presence of
the shrimping and fishing industries in Shem Creek. In more recent years, the location of
Patriot's Point Maritime Museum and the Wando Terminal of the State Ports Authority in the Mt.
Pleasant area have broadened the local interest in Mt. Pleasant's unique waterfront setting.
To local residents and business owners, Mt. Pleasant represents quality of life factors that include
an outstanding public school system, one of the highest per capita incomes in the Southeast, a
broad range of excellent housing, availability of water and sewer, and the second lowest property
tax rate of any of the ten largest cities of the state. In addition, Mt. Pleasant offers a healthy local
economy, superb public and private recreational facilities, a beautiful natural environment, and
the lowest crime rate of any of the ten biggest cities in South Carolina.
Growth in recent years has been guided by a comprehensive land use-planning program, which
also encompasses recreational facilities, revitalization of the older business district and
diversification of future economic development and annexation philosophies. These planning
tools have proven effective in maintaining those attributes most cherished by the citizens of this
affluent, but quaint, "bedroom community", as well as providing for manufacturing, and
corporate property and the nearby East Cooper Corporate Airport.
Current population estimates for the Town of Mount Pleasant are approximately 80,000 which
represents one of the fastest growing areas in the Southeastern United States. This represents an
Page 40
20
extremely high level of population growth for this area, especially considering the Town of
Mount Pleasant enacted a building permit allocation program early in the past decade which
limited population growth to a maximum of 4% per year.
Demand for single-family housing has skyrocketed during the what is now known as the post-
recession period, with home values increasing at a rate of up to 10% per year in some areas.
Prices have returned to the prior peak levels of 2006-2007, and have risen steadily over the past
one to two-year period, with pent up demand and lower interest rates continuing to fuel the
housing market. This is considered to be a major positive indication for the overall health of the
local economy.
Commercial development in the Mount Pleasant area has rebounded over the past several years.
Many small businesses are located in the Mount Pleasant area and these businesses typically
consist of financial firms such in fields such as real estate sales, engineering/surveying, attorney’s
offices, accounting and financial firms. These businesses had contracted significantly in the last
2000’s, with office vacancy rates increasing at one point to excess of 20% in the Mount Pleasant
area. However, as market conditions continue to improve, office vacancies have declined to a
historically stable 5% to 10% level.
Recent retail developments include Oakland Plantation, which is a Wal-Mart and Kohl’s
anchored retail center located along Highway 17 North. This retail development consists of
upwards of 750,000 SF of space. There are several successful restaurants and local retailers
located within this development. Other retail developments include two Harris Teeter-anchored
shopping centers located along Highways 17 and Highway 41 in growing areas of the town.
Page 41
21
There are two new hospitals which are located in the Mount Pleasant area. These two hospitals
include the new East Cooper Hospital, which is a 250,000 Square Feet, regional medical center
with 130 acute-care beds and significant surgical and technological capabilities. This facility is
located along Bowman Road in close proximity to Johnnie Dodds Boulevard.
The new Roper St. Francis Hospital Mount Pleasant is located in close proximity to the majority
of new residential growth and development in the Town along Highway 17 proximate to
Highway 41. This is an 85-bed facility and is located adjacent to a new medical office park
which will include offices for up to 45 doctors.
Each of these new facilities is expected to contribute significantly to the local economy with
regard to new jobs as well as providing new opportunities for commercial and retail
developments in the immediate areas serving these facilities.
Finally, the largest development in the Town of Mount Pleasant is located along Highway 17
North, approximately five miles north of Highway 41 and is known as Carolina Park. This is a
master-planned, mixed-use development comprised of over 1,700 acres of land. This property is
located adjacent to the new Wando High School and is planned for several thousands of
residents.
The infrastructure has been completed and significant development has begun. After several
years of legal issues and with minimal development complete, several national builders are
constructing single family homes in this development. Carolina Park has been a major success
over the past three-year period.
In summary, the Town of Mount Pleasant experienced explosive growth in both property values
and population over the past ten-year period. Mount Pleasant is generally characterized as being
an exceptional location due to the high quality of life, excellent school system and the numerous
recreational opportunities in the area.

City of Goose Creek
Goose Creek is located in the southernmost portion of Berkeley County adjacent to the City of
Hanahan and the City of North Charleston. Goose Creek is a bedroom community for the City of
Charleston and is part of the Charleston Metropolitan area. The city encompasses an area of
approximately 31 square miles and was incorporated on March 22, 1961.
The lower Berkeley County and Goose Creek area has been one of the fastest growing areas in
the Tri-County Region. Berkeley County is currently the fastest growing county in South
Carolina, and two-thirds of the county populations live in this area. The city has experienced
significant growth in the past 10 years, becoming the state's 12th
largest municipality and a major
residential community for the Charleston area. This is one of the fastest growing areas of the
Charleston MSA.
Up until approximately ten years ago, the City of Goose Creek’s growth over the past two
decades was primarily a result of a large residential development project that was undertaken by
Westvaco Development Corporation known as Crowfield Plantation. Crowfield Plantation was
one of the original master-planned developments in the Charleston Metropolitan Area.
Crowfield Plantation features a golf course, an Olympic-size swimming pool, club house, lake,
hiker-biker trail, churches, several public schools, recreational area, and commercial areas which
are either completed or under construction. There are several residential developments located
within Crowfield Plantation with homes ranging in price from the lower $100,000’s to upwards
of $750,000 for large, custom homes located on the golf course.
The most recent five-year period has provided for explosive growth for the Goose Creek Area.
Major residential and commercial development have included Liberty Hall Plantation, Foxbank
Plantation, Spring Grove Plantation, Cobblestone Village and the master planned Cane Bay
development by Del Webb located near the intersection of Highway 17A and Highway 176.
Page 43
23
Many of these developments are master-planned developments which are planned for various
single-family residential subdivisions, multi-family projects, schools, commercial uses and the
like.
These are several master-planned, mixed-use developments which are all located within the City
of Goose Creek. Demand for single-family homes in the subject market is considered to be
average to good, with the majority of the new residences being constructed typically being
purchased by a first-time homebuyer.
Most of the new commercial development over the last ten years has taken place on US Highway
176. This development includes several neighborhood shopping centers and a new Wal-Mart
and Lowe’s Home Improvement store located at the intersection of Highway 17A and 176.
Other development on US Highways 52 and 176 include a variety of commercial utilizations
such as offices, new retail development, branch bank offices, and restaurants.
Recent development on Highway 176 include a new Piggly Wiggly anchored retail center, a
proposed Harris Teeter at the intersection of Highway 176 and Highway 17-A, a proposed Publix
anchored shopping center at the entrance to Cane Bay, a Zaxby’s, an Auto Zone, a Pit Stop Gas
Station, a Sonic fast food restaurant, and a medical center. There has been a significant amount
of new commercial and retail development at this intersection.
Industrial development in the City of Goose Creek is located in both Crowfield Village and in the
Mount Holly Commerce Park. The Mt. Holly Commerce Park is located along U.S. Highway 52
on the south side of Cypress Gardens Road. This is a 1,044-acre, Class A industrial park that
was developed by Berkeley County to attract industry to the area.
The largest development within this area has been the new $600 million data center for Google,
Inc. which was constructed on a 520-acre site in the within the park. The new Google data center
has been providing a significant boost to the local economy. At full employment, the new data
center is projected to employ upwards of 200 persons with an average annual salary of $48,000.
The central business district and primary commercial area in the City of Goose Creek is located
Page 44
24
on and between US Highways 52 and 176. There are three streets connecting the highways,
Brandywine Road, Central Avenue, and Thomason Boulevard.
The intersection of US Highways 52 and 176 is the focal point of development in the area. About
50% of the traffic continues on US Highway 52 and the other 50% travels on US Highway 176
toward Crowfield Plantation and the residential development located proximate to Carnes
Crossroads. The traffic continuing on US Highway 52 is largely traffic to Moncks Corner.
In summary, the City of Goose Creek has experience unprecedented growth over the past ten-
year period. While residential development had stalled slightly during past recessionary
environment, it is important to note that there are several positive factors in play in the current
environment.
The relative convenience to the entire Charleston MSA as well as the affordability and quality of
housing in the subject market provides incentive for further growth within the Goose Creek area.
The continued occupancy of Google within the Mount Holly Industrial Park and the development
of several master-planned developments incorporating all levels of residential development,
schools, churches, parks and other amenities is considered to be a significant asset to the subject
area. In summary, the outlook for the City of Goose Creek is considered to be good.

Charleston MSA Summary
In summary, the Charleston MSA has experienced explosive levels of growth over the past ten-
year period. Population has risen significantly in all submarkets of the Charleston MSA, which
is generally characterized as being a thriving area, with relatively low unemployment and high
income levels when compared to the State of South Carolina as well as the Southeastern United
States.
Unemployment figures have traditionally averages approximately 3% to 7% annually for the
Charleston MSA over the past ten-year period. The current unemployment rate is estimated to be
just under 4%. This has stabilized over the past one and two-year periods. This is the lowest
unemployment rate in the State of South Carolina.
The Charleston MSA has historically been an attractive location for businesses and individuals
alike, and the economic climate is considered to be relatively good as new businesses continue to
expand and invest in the market area.
There have been several positive occurrences over the past several years which provide for
continued optimism for the market area. Boeing’s initial $750 million investment in the area and
resulting 8,000 jobs is perhaps the best economic news this area has heard in several decades.
Projections have indicated an additional 12,000 jobs may also be provided in direct support of
this project. Boeing has continued to expand their operations throughout the Charleston MSA.
This is a major positive impact for the subject economy.
There have been several new large construction projects in the medical field in the Charleston
MSA. Two hospitals have recently been completed in the Town of Mount Pleasant and a large,
150,000 SF+ cancer center in the West Ashley section of the City of Charleston. There is a new
70,000 SF+ medical office facility which has been completed along Hungry Neck Boulevard in
Mount Pleasant. These are all major positive indicators for the medical office sector of the
economy.
Page 46
26
The downtown Charleston area has been reinvigorated once again with recent high-profile office,
multifamily, lodging and retail developers once again returning to the market. New projects of
note include the two new, 60,000 SF+, Class “A” office facilities in the Downtown Charleston
area, a new mixed-use development known as Midtown, a new Holiday Inn and several large
scale retail and office developments are proposed or under construction along the Upper Meeting
and King Street corridors. There are upwards of six luxury hotels planned for the Downtown
Charleston area, which is unprecedented growth for this sector of the local economy.
The recent announcement by Volvo to develop approximately 900 acres in Berkeley County in
close proximity to Ridgeville is yet another major positive economic announcement. The
development of this site for a US manufacturing facility was announced in the Spring of 2015
and is projected to provide an upwards of $4.8 billion annual impact to the local economy, with
upwards of 4,000 new jobs projected at this facility within the next 10-year period.
Furthermore, Mercedes Benz Vans, which is a division of Daimler, announced plans for
construct a new plant facility and an investment of upwards of $500 million dollars within the
Palmetto Commerce Park. This plant is expected to add another 1,200 jobs in this market over
the next decade.
In summary, the combination of a high quality of life, relatively affordable housing options, a
diverse economy, the availability of public resources and utilities, effective local governments
and a stable overall economic base provides support for the continued growth and prosperity of
the Charleston Metropolitan Statistical Area.

SITE ANALYSIS
The subject property is located at the physical address of 1000 Herbert Street in the City of
Charleston, Charleston County, South Carolina 29405. The subject property consists of a 4.22-
acre site which is currently zoned HI, Heavy Industrial District, by the City of Charleston.
Charleston County references the subject site as a portion of TMS #466-00-00-007.
The subject property is a portion of a larger tract of land which contains a total of 19.35 acres of
land. The specific subject property is a part of a larger tract of land which is utilized by the North
Charleston Sewer District for their operations center. There are many additional buildings, large
tanks and ancillary improvements on the subject site.
The subject property has been appraised as if a typical industrial building in the subject market.
We have utilized a reasonable Land to Building ratio, as well as GIS technology to provide a
reasonable estimate of the appropriate site for the subject building.
Based on a typical Land to Building Ratio, Parking Areas and typical access, we have estimated
the appropriate site for the subject property to have a total of 4.22 acres of land. Therefore, this
appraisal is based on the Hypothetical Condition that the appropriate site for the subject building
would be 4.22 acres of land. This site would include appropriate driveways, access and turn
around areas for large trucks, and would provide excellent utility for the current use. The
appropriate site is outlined on the tax map/aerial photograph shown below:
Site
Page 52
32
According to the above exhibit, the subject site consists of a total of 4.22 acres of land which has
been improved with a two-story building which contains a total of 32,368 SF. As of the effective
date of December 11, 2018, the subject improvements contributed significantly to the value of
the underlying land in the “As Vacant” condition and provide excellent utility for many potential
users. The improvements have been utilized by the North Charleston Sewer District for their
operations center for many years.
The subject site is located in close proximity to the intersection of Herbert Street and Meeting
Street, near the I-26 interchange. Major commercial thoroughfares in the subject market area
include King Street Extension and Meeting Street. Each of these roadways is accessed
conveniently from the subject market area.
This is a heavy industrial area which is influenced by the location in close proximity to the
railroads and port facilities which are located in the immediate market area. Major corporations
such as Chevron, US Foods and Kinder Morgan have industrial facilities located in close
proximity to the subject property and major port terminals are located in close proximity the
subject.
The subject site is zoned HI, Heavy Industrial, by the City of Charleston, and the site provides
excellent utility for many potential uses. This is a rare zoning designation for the city as many
sites have been developed with alternate uses. There are very few vacant heavy industrial sites
available in the market. All public utilities are available to the subject site. Potential uses for the
subject site in the “As Vacant” condition would include large scale industrial development.
The site is displayed on FEMA Panel 45019C 504K. It appears that the subject property is
located in Flood Zone “X” and “AE” which is an area of flood hazard. This is typical for the
market area and does not detract from the overall utility of the site.
Please see the attached copies of the aerial photographs, tax maps, flood map and subject
photographs for further illustrations of the subject site.

DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS
The subject property is located at the physical address of 1000 Herbert Street in Charleston, SC,
and was occupied by the North Charleston Sewer District as of the date of the inspection. The
subject building was considered to be of average overall quality and appeal in comparison to the
competitive set as of the date of the inspection. The subject property consists of a total of 32,
368 SF, divided between office/lab space (17,248 SF) and warehouse space (15,120 SF)
The subject building is a masonry structure with a brick veneer exterior. There are two distinct
property types within the subject building. The office/lab portion of the building contains a total
of 17,248 SF and contains the administrative offices, a laboratory, several break rooms,
conference rooms, individual offices, a training room and lobby/entrance. This portion of the
subject building is generally characterized as Class “B” office space. There is a dedicated lab
area within this office portion of the facility. Typical improvements include carpet/VCT
flooring, sheetrock walls, acoustical ceilings, average/fair quality cabinetry and a general average
overall finish. The space is functional and no functional obsolescence is noted. The entire office
portion of the facility is heated and cooled.
The industrial areas are considered to be of heavy industrial construction, with heavy industrial
grade concrete slabs, truck wells and overhead doors. The facility has a ceiling height of 50’,
which is atypical of the market and consistent with heavy industrial grade construction. General
interior features include heavy duty steel construction, significant mezzanine areas, scaffolding
and heavy industrial grade infrastructure.
The exterior of the facility is considered to be of average to good quality. There are several
marked parking areas, significant fencing and turn around areas for large trucks. This is a secure,
good quality heavy industrial facility which provides excellent physical utility for the current use.
We have estimated physical depreciation to be approximately 35% to 40%. No functional or
external obsolescence is noted.
A summary of the improvements is displayed on the following page.

SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL
Pursuant to the client’s request, we have prepared this appraisal report. The first basic step in
completing this report was considering the requirements for this report from the intended client,
Design Build Corporation. We have been instructed to provide an estimate of the Market Value
of the Fee Simple Estate of the subject property, as of the effective date of December 11, 2018.
We have completed the appraisal process, which includes the collection, confirmation, analysis, and
reporting of market data.
Details of the specific requirements for this particular client are outlined in the Engagement
Letter, which is included as an addendum to this report.
The subject property is a good quality, 32,368 SF building which has good locational
characteristics at 1000 Herbert Street in Charleston, SC. The property is a portion of the
operations center for the North Charleston Sewer Authority. The purpose of this appraisal is to
estimate the value of the underlying land, the value of the entire property, and the contributory
value of the improvements at the subject property.
In performing this appraisal, we have collected sufficient market data in order to provide
justification and support for the adjustments and value estimates which are utilized in this report.
The Scope of Work is described in the 2018-2019 edition of USPAP as including:
The extent to which the property is identified;
The extent to which tangible property is inspected;
The type and extent of data researched, and
The type and extent of analyses applied to arrive at opinions or conclusions.
A description of each of these factors is provided as follows:
Page 59
39
The Extent to Which the Property is Identified
The appraiser has researched documents including deeds, plats and public records to provide for
the legal description of the subject property. Furthermore, we have reviewed aerial photographs,
tax maps and associated documents to properly identify the subject. We have reviewed floor
plans as of the effective date of this report. We have interviewed the property representatives to
provide an indication of the overall quality and condition of the facility as of the effective date of
this report. We have physically inspected the site and improvements.
The Extent to Which the Tangible Property is Inspected
The appraiser has physically inspected the subject property. We have done a thorough market
investigation and have inspected the subject and general market areas. We have reviewed
documents which provide an indication of the physical characteristics of the site and
improvements as of the effective date of this assignment. We have inspected each of the
comparables utilized in this report where possible and are familiar with the current factors which
influence the overall marketability of the subject property and the comparables used in this
report.
The Type and Extent of Data Researched
In preparing this appraisal report, we have thoroughly researched the market for similar
properties within the subject market area. We have utilized market studies as well as primary
data which were collected by the appraiser to provide an indication of current market values and
the general expectations of buyers and sellers in the current market. We have interviewed
brokers and market participants in order to provide further indication of current market
conditions.
Each sale comparable utilized in this report was independently verified by at least one party to
the transaction where possible. We have also considered current listings in our analysis. We
have adjusted our sales comparables based on several factors including market conditions as well
as quantifiable factors such as size, quality and locational factors.
Page 60
40
The Type and Extent of Analysis Applied
We have analyzed the data collected and applied the appropriate methodology in order to provide
a value of the Fee Simple Interest in the subject property. We have analyzed the subject property
in the “As Vacant” condition and have determined the Highest and Best Use of the subject is to
develop the site with some type of Heavy Industrial Use. From there we have selected the most
relevant comparables and adjusted these comparables based on quantifiable market evidence.
From there we have selected the most relevant comparables and adjusted these comparables
based on quantifiable market evidence. After review of the engagement letter and after carefully
considering the Scope of this Assignment, we have determined that Sales Comparison Approach
is the most relevant approach in estimating the value of the subject property. The Cost Approach
has not been completed. This is due to the difficulties inherent in estimating
replacement/reproduction costs of a facility such as the subject.
The Income Approach has also not been completed. Typical market participants consider
primarily the sales approach when making purchase decisions in the current market and this is
the methodology employed in this appraisal.
We have compared the value of the underlying land with the value of the entire facility in order
to provide an indication of the contributory value of the improvements. This is a generally
accepted methodology in completing an assignment such as this.
We have reconciled our findings to provide a supportable value of the subject property. This
appraisal is intended to comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice,
2018-2019 edition.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE DEFINITION
Highest and Best Use is:
The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property,
which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that
results in the highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are
legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum
profitability.
Highest and Best Use of Land or a Site as Though Vacant is:
Among all reasonable, alternative uses, the use that yields the highest present land
value, after payments are made for labor, capital, and coordination. The use of a
property based on the assumption that the parcel of land is vacant or can be made
vacant by demolishing any improvements.
Highest and Best Use of Property as Improved is:
The use that should be made of a property as it exists. An existing property should
be renovated or retained as is so long as it continues to contribute to the total market
value of the property, or until the return from a new improvement would more than
offset the cost of demolishing the existing building and constructing a new one.1

(Chicago, Illinois).
Page 62
42
HIGHEST AND BEST USE AS VACANT
Legally Permissible:
The subject site is zoned HI, Heavy Industrial District, by the City of Charleston Planning and
Zoning Department. Permitted uses include heavy industrial, light industrial and several alternate
uses as specifically allowed by the specific land use plan for certain areas. Each of these uses
would be a legal and conforming use of the subject.
Physically Possible:
The subject site contains 4.22 acres and is physically large enough to support several legally
permissible commercial uses. The subject site has good locational characteristics within a
limited number of areas within the City of Charleston that are zoned for heavy industrial uses.
The subject site is relatively rectangular in shape, and has excellent access and exposure to the
subject market. All utilities are available to the subject site. Therefore, based on the locational
and functional characteristics of the site, the site is physically possible to be developed with a
heavy industrial and/or light industrial use.
Financially Feasible:
The subject site is located along Herbert Street in an area which has traditionally been a heavy
industrial area of the City of Charleston. The site is located in close proximity to major industrial
areas which are occupied by large corporations such as US Foods, Kinder Morgan and Chevron.
There are several port related users in the immediate market area, and access and exposure to and
from both major interstates, railways and port related operations is considered to be excellent.
Demand for heavy industrially zoned acreage in the subject market is considered to be strong at
this time.
Potential development options for the subject in the “As Vacant” condition would be heavy
industrial, light industrial, office or similar uses. However, due to the relative scarcity of heavy
industrial sites in the area, it is likely that land prices would dictate the use to be a heavy
industrial application.
Page 63
43
Based on the surrounding land use patterns it would appear that some type of heavy industrial
development would be a financially feasible use of the site in the “As Vacant” condition.
The subject property is located in close proximity to Shipyard Creek, which is located near Myers
Bend of the Cooper River. This is a main industrial branch of the Cooper River which has a
depth of 32’ at mean tide. There are several parcels which feature docks on Shipyard Creek;
other improvements include shipyards, oil terminals and dredging operations. This is a major
waterfront, industrial area for the Charleston MSA. It is important to note that the subject site
does not have frontage along Shipyard Creek.
Maximally Productive:
The site enjoys excellent locational characteristics within the subject market area. The location of
the subject site in close proximity to major, port and logistical demand generators within the
Charleston area provides for good overall utility for many types of potential uses in the “As Vacant”
condition.
Based on our analysis, it is our opinion that the highest and best use of the subject site as vacant
would be for some type of Heavy Industrial Development. This is the use that would produce
the highest net return and yield the greatest benefits to the subject site.
Page 64

HIGHEST AND BEST USE AS IMPROVED
All of the conditions previously noted in the Highest and Best Use as Vacant section are also
applicable to the subject space as improved as of the effective date of this appraisal. Factors
considered when evaluating this property include its convenient location, the relatively large size of
the improvements as well as the stable growth the market area has experienced over the past
decade.
The subject property is currently improved with a 32,368 SF building which has been occupied by
the North Charleston Sewer Authority for many years. The current configuration appears to be a
reasonable use of the subject improvements. The current floor plan provides good utility for the
current use.
Based on our analysis, it is our opinion that the highest and best use of the subject site as improved
would be its use as an Heavy Industrial Facility which utilizes the current footprint/floorplan of
the building.
We believe the most likely purchaser of the subject property would be an owner-user. We believe
that a typical purchaser would expect a holding period of ten years or greater.

EXPOSURE PERIOD
Exposure Period is defined as the estimated length of time the property interest being appraised
would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market
value on the effective date of this appraisal; a retrospective opinion based on an analysis of past
events assuming a competitive an open market.
Each of the sales in our analysis was confirmed to have been purchased within a one-year
marketing period. Therefore, based on our analysis, we have estimated an appropriate Exposure
Period for the subject to be within a one-year period.
MARKETING PERIOD
Marketing Period is defined as the length of time the subject property would be exposed to the
market, as if offered for sale as of the effective date of this appraisal at the appraised value until the
close of a sale.
Based on our analysis, we have estimated a Marketing Period of one year or less for the subject
property.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY
The valuation process begins when an appraiser identifies the appraisal problem and ends when he
or she reports a conclusion to the client. Each parcel of real property is unique and many different
types of value can be estimated for a single property. The most common appraisal assignment is
performed to estimate market value and the valuation process contains all the steps appropriate to
this type of assignment. The model also provides the framework for estimating any other defined
value. Consulting assignments often call for value estimates, which are derived through
modification of the valuation process.
The valuation process is accomplished through specific steps. The number of steps followed
depends on the nature of the appraisal assignment and the data available. The model indicates a
pattern that can be used in any appraisal assignment to perform market research and data analysis,
to apply appraisal techniques, and to integrate the results of these activities into an estimate of
defined value.
Research begins after the appraisal problem has been defined. The analysis of data relevant to the
problem starts with an investigation of trends observed at all market levels - international, national,
regional, community, and neighborhood. This examination will help the appraiser understand the
interrelationships among the principles, forces, and factors that affect real property value in the
specific area. It also provides raw data from which to extract quantitative information and other
evidence of market trends such as positive or negative percentage changes in property value over a
number of years, the population movement into an area, and the number of employment
opportunities available and their effect on the purchasing power of potential property users. These
data can be analyzed and employed to estimate a defined value.
Traditionally, appraisal techniques are the specific procedures within the three approaches that are
applied to derive indications of real property value. One or more approaches to value may be used
depending on their applicability to the particular appraisal assignment.
Page 67
47
In assignments to estimate market value, the ultimate goal of the valuation process is a well-
supported value conclusion that reflects all the factors that influence the market value of the
property being appraised. To achieve this goal, an appraiser typically studies a property from three
different viewpoints, which correspond to the three traditional approaches to value.
1. The value indicated by recent sales of comparable properties in the market -the sales
comparison approach.
2. The current cost of reproducing or replacing improvements, minus the loss in value
from depreciation, plus site value - the cost approach.
3. The value of a property's earning power based on the capitalization of its income -
the income capitalization approach.
The three approaches are interrelated; each requires the gathering and analysis of cost, sales, and
income data that pertain to the property being appraised.
From the approaches applied, the appraiser derives separate indications of value for the property
being appraised. One or more of the approaches may not be applicable to a specific assignment or
may be less reliable due to the nature of the property, the needs of the client, or the data available.
To complete the valuation process, the appraiser integrates the information drawn from market
research and data analysis and from the application of approaches to form a value conclusion. This
conclusion may be presented as a single point estimate of value or as a range within which the value
may fall. An effective integration of all the elements in the process depends on the appraiser's skill,
experience, and judgement.2

ESTIMATE OF LAND VALUE
The major principal of the Direct Sales Comparison Approach is that no prudent purchaser would
pay more for a property than the price of similar properties that have recently sold in the
competing market place. The subject property consists of a 4.22 acre parcel located at 1000
Herbert Street in the City of Charleston, South Carolina 29405. The site is zoned for Heavy
Industrial Use, which is a positive characteristic of the subject property.
We have found several sales of similar properties and have adjusted these sales for location,
quality and size. We have utilized Price Per Acre as the unit of comparison.
A discussion of these sales is displayed below:
Land Sale #1 – This is the sale of a 4.90 acre industrial site located at 4341 Dorchester Road in
North Charleston, South Carolina. This property sold on August 30, 2017 for a price of
$1,180,000, or $240,816 per acre. No market conditions adjustment is necessary. Locationally,
this site is superior to the subject property and is adjusted by -10%. This sale indicates a value of
$216,374 per acre for the subject.
Land Sale #2– This is the sale of a 9.31 acre industrial site located along Spruill Avenue in
North Charleston, South Carolina. This property sold on February 28, 2017 for a price of
$2,100,000, or $225,564 per acre. No market conditions adjustment is necessary. Locationally,
this site is superior to the subject property due to the frontage along a commercial thoroughfare.
We have adjusted downward by 20%. A size adjustment of +20% is also necessary. This sale
indicates a value of $225,564 per acre for the subject.
Page 69
49
Land Sale #3 – This is the sale of a 0.99 acre industrial site located along Fain Street in North
Charleston, South Carolina. This property sold on January 20, 2017 for a price of $235,000, or
$237,374 per acre. No market conditions adjustment is necessary. We have adjusted by -15%
for size and +5% for location. This sale indicates a value of $225,505 per acre for the subject.
Land Sale #4 – This is the sale of a 3.76 acre industrial site located along Pace Street, in the
Stark Industrial Park in North Charleston, South Carolina. This property sold on November 30,
2016 for a price of $800,000, or $212,766 per acre. No market conditions adjustment is
necessary. This is a very similar property in comparison to the subject land and requires no
adjustment.
The sales displayed above indicate a range in value for the subject of $216,374 per acre to
upwards of $225,564 per acre. Based on our analysis, we believe the subject property is best
indicated by a price that is in the middle of the indicated range, or $220,000 per acre.
The subject site consists of a total of 4.22 acres. Multiplying this by the price per acre of
$220,000 provides the value of the underlying land of $928,400 which we have rounded to
$930,000. ($220,000/acre X 4.22 acres = $928,400, or $930,000)
Therefore, we have estimated the value of the subject site, as of the effective date of December
11, 2018, to be:
NINE HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$930,000

DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The major premise of the Sales Comparison Approach to Value is that no prudent purchaser
would pay more for a property than the cost to acquire a property of similar utility in the
competing market. The principles that apply are those of substitution, supply and demand, and
externalities. There are many different units of comparison used to develop a pattern of indicated
value for properties. The following units of comparison are the most commonly used in valuing
properties such as the subject.
Gross Income (Rent) Multipliers: The Gross Income Multiplier (GIM) is the
ratio of sale price and gross potential income. The Effective Gross Income
Multiplier (EGIM) is the ratio of sale price and effective gross income. This
method is meaningful when there are sufficient numbers of comparable sales that
have similar expense ratios as compared to the subject property. This unit of
comparison is often used in conjunction with others.
Dollars per Square Foot: Dollars per S.F. ($/S.F.) is the direct ratio of the sale
price of a property and the building area in square feet.
The appraisers have searched for sales of similar size and utility within the subject market.
Dollars per square foot has been chosen as the appropriate unit of comparison. The subject
property is a good quality restaurant facility in an excellent location. The underlying land value
is significant and provides for an excellent location for many potential users.
In order to provide a reasonable indication of value for the subject, we have searched to find
comparable sales of industrial facilities which provide similar investment characteristics when
compared to the subject. We have adjusted these sales for location, size and quality of
improvements. We have not adjusted any of these sales for market conditions.
These sales are described below:
Page 77

in Hanahan, South Carolina. This property was purchased on April 23, 2018 for a price of
$1,750,000, or $77.78/SF. No market conditions adjustment is necessary. With regard to size no
adjustment is necessary. However, we have adjusted this sale to reflect the superior condition of
the comparable by -5%. A +15% location adjustment is also necessary. No further adjustment is
necessary. This sale has a Net Adjustment of +10% and indicates a value of $85.55/SF.
Improved Sale #2 is the sale of a 27,450 SF industrial building located at 1853 Belgrade
Boulevard in Charleston, South Carolina. This property was purchased on January 5, 2018 for a

$3,750,000, or $75.00/SF. No market conditions adjustment is necessary. With regard to size a
+5% adjustment is necessary. We have adjusted this sale to reflect the superior condition of the
comparable by -10%. A +15% location adjustment is also necessary. No further adjustment is
necessary. This sale has a Net Adjustment of +10% and indicates a value of $82.50/SF.

Improved Sale #5 is the sale of a 18,500 SF industrial building located at 2781 Three Lakes
Road in North Charleston, South Carolina. This property was purchased on November 4, 2016
for a price of $1,850,000, or $100.00/SF. No market conditions adjustment is necessary. With
regard to size no adjustment is necessary. However, we have adjusted this sale to reflect the
superior condition of the comparable by -10%. This sale has a Net Adjustment of -10% and
indicates a value of $90.00/SF.
The properties displayed above are of comparable properties which provide an excellent
indication of market value. The adjusted values range from $79.27/SF to upwards of $90.00/SF.
Based on our analysis, we believe that the subject property falls within the middle of the
indicated range at $85.00/SF.
The subject property consists of 32,368 SF, which indicates a value of $2,751,280 rounded to
$2,750,000. Therefore, it is our opinion that the market value of the subject property, as of the
effective date of December 11, 2018, was:
TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

FINAL RECONCILIATION
The subject property is an owner occupied facility which is currently being utilized for the
operations center for the North Charleston Sewer Authority. The subject property is an average
quality facility which provides excellent utility for the current use. In our analysis, we have
completed an appraisal utilizing the Direct Sales Comparison Approach to value. This approach
best reflect the typical actions of buyers and sellers in the market and give the most reliable
indication of value for this type of property.
The current improvements provide significantly utility to the subject property as compared to the
“As Vacant” condition.
Therefore, based on our analysis, it is our opinion that the value of the subject property, as of the
effective date of December 11, 2018, was:
TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$2,750,000
We have also been asked to provide a value of the underlying land. Based on our analysis, it is our
opinion that the value of the underlying land, consisting of a 4.22 acre commercial site, as of the
effective date of December 11, 2018, was:
NINE HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$930,000
Finally, by subtracting the value of the land from the value of the entire property, this results in the
contributory value of the improvements. Therefore, based on our analysis, the contributing value of
the improvements, as of the effective date of December 11, 2018, was:
ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$1,820,000

GENERAL AND UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS
This appraisal report has been made with, and is subject to, the following general assumptions:
That title to the property is assumed to be good and marketable unless otherwise stated. No
responsibility is assumed for the legal descriptions or for any legal matter.
That the definition of value together with other definitions and assumptions on which our
analyses are based are set forth in appropriate sections of this report and are a part of these
General Assumptions as if included here in their entirety.
That title to the property is assumed to be marketable. The property is considered to be under
responsible ownership and management and free of all liens and encumbrances except as
specifically discussed herein.
That the facts, estimates, and opinions furnished the appraiser(s) by others and contained in this
report are considered to be from reliable sources and where feasible have been verified.
However, no responsibility is assumed for the accuracy of the information. We reserve the right
to modify the value estimates should more reliable or accurate information become available
subsequent to delivery of this report.
All engineering and/or surveys are assumed to be correct. The sketches, plot plans, and
drawings included in the report are included only to assist the reader in visualizing the property.
It is assumed that there are no hidden or other unapparent conditions in the soil, subsoil,
structures, or property, which would render them more or less valuable. The appraiser
specifically accepts no responsibility for damage by termites, woodborers or any other wood-
infesting insects.
No responsibility is assumed for such conditions or for engineering or inspections that would be
required to discover them.
Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous material, which may or may
not be present on or in the property, was not observed by the appraiser. The appraiser has no
knowledge of the existence of such materials on, in, or near the property. The appraiser,
however, is not qualified to detect such substances.
The presence of potentially dangerous or hazardous materials, gases, or toxic substances may
effect the value of the property and in this appraisal the value estimate is predicated on the
assumption that there is no such element on, in, or near the property that would cause a loss in
value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions or for any expertise or engineering
knowledge required to discover them.

Good structural and mechanical conditions are assumed to exist and no opinion as to these
matters is to be inferred or constructed from the attached report.
It is assumed that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local
environmental regulations and laws unless non-compliance is stated, defined, and considered in
the appraisal report.
It is assumed that all required licenses, certificates of occupancy, legislated or administrative
consents from any local, state, or national governmental or private entity or organization have
been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the value estimate contained in this
report is based.
It is assumed that the utilization of the land and/or improvements is within the boundaries or
property lines of the property described herein and that there is no encroachment or trespass
unless noted within the report.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") became effective January 26, 1992. I
(we) have not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine
whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is
possible that a compliance survey of the property, together with a detailed analysis of the
requirements of the ADA, could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more
of the requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of
the property. Since I (we) have no direct evidence relating to this issue, I (we) did not consider
possible non-compliance with the requirements of the ADA in estimating the value of the
property.
The subject property may or may not be located in or adjacent to a wetland area. The appraisers
are not qualified in the area of engineering pertaining to the determination of wetlands.
Therefore, the appraisers are unable to determine the wetland status of the subject property.
The appraisers assume the appropriate permit, if required, can be or has been obtained from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The appraisers also assume that the jurisdictional
determination study and/or permit regarding construction in a wetlands area, if required, does
not result in the alteration of the subject property description contained in this appraisal report.
The appraiser has examined flood maps provided by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and has noted whether the subject property is located in a special flood
hazardous area. We are not experts in Flood Zone delineation and make no guarantee regarding
the determination since we are not surveyors. Final determination should be made by a licensed
surveyor or engineer.
Unless otherwise noted in the appraisal report, the estimated market value does not include any
personal property, fixtures or other non-real estate items.
